Our “Better Together” mole has just leaked us this exclusive extract from a new cinema advert with a re-imaged Alistair Darling listing the consequences of a Yes vote.

It’s really from the 1981 Labour conference, of course. But it’s fascinating to note that while the No camp leader’s politics may have softened somewhat over the intervening 33 years, his modus operandi hasn’t changed a bit.

My grasp of grammar isn’t great, but ‘there’ll be raping’ doesn’t ring true…shouldn’t it just be ‘rape’?

In any case, it’s clear that the man enjoys delivering ‘fire and brimstone’-type sermons. He might have been a happier camper if he’d joined the Wee Frees (although there’s not many of dem fellas get 10k for a 30-minute spiel).

Does the BBBC/MSM raping of democracy count Scott ?
We’ve got a right riot of a laugh coming on the 5th to look forwards to.
I can’t wait, but Flipper must be having ‘wee accidents’ in the pants dept by now.

Not normally this spiteful, but I’m hoping for full loss of the capacity to even form a sentence. Men in Robe’s blanche time.

These comments predate the miners’ strikes and the Tottenham riots. Nasty things did happen. The detail may not be 100 per cent but the theme of the message was quite prescient. At least he was on the correct side when it came to Thatcherism.

Something of Alistair’s physical transformation, and his possession by the forces of darkness makes me remember fondly the crazy Eagle real life still cartoon Doomlord where some early 80s hairy male would transform (with 1 intermediary stage) into an evil extraterrestrial maniac.

Now I understand. Darling is an ‘End Timer’. First he attempts to bring the end of the world closer by global banking collapse. Now, he’s set his sights lower and wants to bring about the end of Scotland.

In 1982, a year after this video (by this time a fully fledged lawyer) Darling abandoned his membership of the International Marxist Group, the British section of the Trotskyist Fourth International, as it was getting him nowhere politically. The same year he became a cooncillur in Lothian Regional Council. In six short years by 1988 he was an MP and already Opposition Home Affairs spokesman on the frontbench of Neil Kinnock.

The ‘intermediary stage’, as documented above, retains a passable semblance of normality (i.e. not blinking furiously).

The final stage is truly horrible: the hairiness becomes uncontrollable; he dresses completely in ill-fitting boiled-washed denim; he appears only after midnight, on (the then-new) BBC2, delivering lectures on calculus, partnered by someone who is identical to him in every respect bar (the then-obvious) accent.

“At least he was on the correct side when it came to Thatcherism.” quite right, he was a thatcherite then as he is now. Just look at his family tree, Tories one and all. This is just a poor little rich kid playing at being a rebel, he soon reverted to type.

Never mind food shortages, I think Al should be worried about the last bottle of Head & Shoulders…

@Phil Robertson

Al “was on the correct side when it came to Thatcherism”?

You’re having a laugh, aren’t you Phil? Even our younger readers will recall that Al was a member of Tony Blair’s New Labour government. And what did Maggie say was the biggest vindication of her policies? Why……New Labour! So actually, maybe you’re right – Al WAS on the correct side of Thatcherism after all.

All that early practice he’s been doing to lead Better Together and he still managed to f@#k it up! Why did anyone think he could do the job in the first place? Further evidence the Tories are trying to fling the referendum!

Did New Labour repeal any of the main planks of Thatcher’s trade union legislation? And did New Labour implement an energy policy which included re-invigoration of the coal industry? I think you’ll find their policy was a combination of nuclear & the ‘dash for gas’.

Was he describing the January sales? Fair fortnight at Butlin’s Skegness? Harvest Festival for Episcopalians?

A young politician using the phrase “there will be raping” at a party conference back then probably didn’t even raise a (freakishly black and bushy) eyebrow. It seems to have been part of the evening ‘entertainment’ for the ‘great and good’.

I’ve asked partner and like me she has absolutely NO idea how to do this real time thingy on Facebook. However, apparently her youngest daughter might have an idea how to this but we’ll need to wait till tomorrow now to ask her. 😀

The pictures really show how busy the WOS stall was. What isn’t apparent from the pictures is the passing trade we picked up as they were going to and from the BBC village. I spoke to Scots, English, Australians, Canadians and a multitude of others attracted in because of the music and flags. We had some Aussies desperate to get a Yes flag to wave at the rugby but we didn’t have any spare to give away. The overwhelming message from these passers-by was what were we waiting for and why would we do anything other than vote Yes.

I’ve just seen the link to a Guardian article written by one of Stu’s bested mates, Severin Carrell, about undecided voters over in the Guardian. I’m thinking he was spitting blood writing this piece. 😀

Apparently there are no areas of “Outstanding Natural Beauty” in Scotland. At all.

The Central belt, and much of Fife look ripe for the elites to feast on us a whilst yet.
There are existing licences to frack up much of the Trossacks and beyond, in place already ffs.
Now the Tories have given themselves the right to over-rule the wishes of local authorities (and devolved Parliament’s ?), to who’s benefit ?
Energy security ? ‘We’ don’t import gas from potential threats. Norway might go all scary Viking on ‘us’, out of the blue !

Check out the maps.
Vote No, get Fracked. Why bother, when you already produce 2/5 ish of the UK Total supply.

Sorry to go on about it, but JIC you thought the Red Tories aren’t on board.

“Tom Greatrex MP, Labour’s Shadow Energy Minister, said: “With 80% of our heating coming from gas and declining North Sea reserves, shale and other unconventional gas may have the potential to form a part of our future energy mix.”

This Marxist revolutionary sleeper almost single-handedly brought the great Satan of the City of London, as well as international finance capitalism, to its knees in the UK. So well done him.

His newest undercover mission, obviously, is to bring about the final destruction of the last remnants of the British Empire. As Director of Better Together he’s bringing to bear the same ruthless efficiency and single-minded of purpose which marked his time in office as Chancellor which saw all sorts of records broken for total incompetence and abject failure in record time.

These comments predate the miners’ strikes and the Tottenham riots. Nasty things did happen. The detail may not be 100 per cent but the theme of the message was quite prescient. At least he was on the correct side when it came to Thatcherism.

In 1981 Mr Salmond was working for the Royal Bank of Scotland.

But at that time banks actually did real banking, not the sell other stuff and casino gambling which is what they do now.

Darling knew what he was about in 1981. He was starting his journey to being a Tory, a right wing politician and a member of the Establishment. His intention was always to feather his own nest and betray his constituents. You don’t rise to the top in Labour by genuinely caring about society and having compassion.

Its hard to imagine that our young project fear stoner up there would one day grow to save the world with another sociopath, safety,strength, be part of something ukok bigger and safer, look up to your masters Scotland, they’ll love you, ofcurse you could have an oil fund but why would you when the City needs it much more…

Just posted a comment on Bella Caledonia in response to a unionist troll.

He turned the preposterous ‘700,000 people would think of leaving scotland’ – ‘think’ – on a Yes vote, to, 700,000 now in flight, a bedraggled caravan of the lost and homeless ploughing south to the Promised Land.

The site’s strength is its weakness, freedom to say what anything no matter how stupid, and to keep repeating it, argumentum ad absurdum.

The result is, it’s infested with trolls and bigots who are allowed to post the most monotonous, cretinous garbage, supposedly as a mark of ‘free expression.’

The poor man’s shock jock, Cocky Cochrane, doesn’t acknowledge those people are motivated by hatred.

Scotland has been bullied for 300 years, he is just carrying on from previous unionist ideology. The Union is great, look at the opportunities that I have had, and Gordon Brown, Jim Murphy and Johann Lamont.
(These numptys would have got nowhere in and a Free Country).

Can someone explain what it was that he was foaming at the mouth about. What is it that requires the army to be on the streets, that we’ll be murdering our loved ones as we fight over the last can of Heinz tin beans in what is basically in his eyes, the end of days…

Jesus …and we allowed that to not only be a Chancellor, but to run the other side’s campaign too. Unbelievable!

In fact …this is going on Facebook! Folk have to see this …if only to see what Darling looked like as a younger man. Scary!

I was out of my face quite a lot in the 80?s. Did any of these things come to pass?
Loved your comment. After watching this vid you were not alone! DID YOU KNOW SOME FOLK ACTUALLY HAVE FLASHBACKS?

It was the deregulation of banking since Thatcher/Reagan that caused the banking crash. Tory bankers fund the Tory Party.

The population of Scotland has only increased since Devolution for the last 300 years. Scotland was depopulated by Westminster rule. A 40 million diaspora.

Scotland would be £10Billion better off. On average a £3Billion surplus goes to Westminster. £4Billion debt repayment on monies not borrowed and spent in Scotland. £1.5Billion could be saved on Trident/illegal wars. £1.5Billion could be saved on a tax on ‘loss leading’ cheap alcohol.

@ Grouse Beater, can’t see Carney lasting much longer now. Who knows what politics he’s playing with teamGB kleptocracy. Everyone involved in the 2008 crash has got richer, including Crash and the Flipper and then you try not think about ATOS victims or the ever rising UKOK national debt. Who would any country vote to join them in any kind of union at all, let alone this one where they rule Scotland.

I always have a suspicion of people who work their way up the greasy pole, usually not the best equipped intellectuallly, changing political trains mid way, to arrive at the chamber of crowning annointment, having jetissoned every pronciple en route.

Some are just jammy chancers and others look as if they had followed a special yellow brick road, maybe even especially laid down for them alone.

Jim Murphy is another one.

I just wonder who, or what, guided then. Do they have a hidden big brother?

Flipper video is just one more young Labourite working into the “terrifying world but labour protects you” sales pitch, Labour gives you houses, hospital, school, safety, strength, giving and protecting, Labour.

Post war Labour did all of this and along came upper class twits, men o pairts, lads o the manse, stair heid rammies, incompetent school head’s, sectarian reprobates, and all became St Thatcher’s greatest achievement. City destroyed our economy, they all went off to sort out the Middle East as only dudes like the stoner up there can do, frightening, terrifying his way into public office, teaamGB style. A bankrupt mindset from the off but Flipper would say, well it’s worked out great for me and my class, so vote No and let’s get back to be safe, secure, part of something bigger in teamGB, something so big and secure, Scots are not allowed Saltires in Hampden park.

I wonder what the brothers and sisters, listening to comrade Darling in 1981, would have thought if someone told them that, 30 years later, he would be guest of honour at a Tory conference, fighting against socialism and democracy in Scotland. I wonder what Mr Darling himself would have thought back then at the prospect.

Staggering BetterTogether vote no propaganda blast from BBC in Wales but at least BBC Wales doesn’t use ragged old Saltire along side shiny giant Union Jacks, like what BBC in Scotland do do If you’re a collector of UK state propaganda, this is a cracking display of how broadcasting corruption actually works in teamGB

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/scotland/scotland_politics/ I’m wrong about the BBC only using ragged old Saltires for their vote NO campaigning. The liggers have stopped using any Scotland flags at all, which shows how confident teamGB is during the 2014 Glasgow Commonwealth games, in Scotland. You couldn’t invent a more bizarre propaganda BetterTogether outfit if it was run by the Flipper on some righteous weed man.

This is fun! Try new online BBC game, Spot the Scotland flag and win a Union Jack, because union jacks are NOT banned at the Common Wealth games, this is, whisper it very very quietly, somewhere called SCOTLAND, you miserable BBC gits

Lest we forget, a 59 year old ex-soldier starved to death in Stevenage because his State Benefits were stopped via the system instigated by Crash and Dotty – that malformed to become ATOS Under unelected ConDems.

I sent the You Tube link to a Labour activist and asked for his views, still waiting.

I remember the days when Labour at least had a pretense of being a socialist party but these days are long gone.

Darling, like many before him and especially true of the current intake of Labourites, are nothing more than leeches that attach themselves to the biggest fish. There are numerous examples of people using the Labour Party to further his career and line his own pockets. It goes with the territory.

Ok, it took a night’s thought to work it out, but it’s all clear to me now. Look closely: the flowing locks, the biblical beard, the soft, doe-like eyes – why, it’s Jesus Christ, and this is the Second Coming!

That I can live with, regardless of many thoughts on Union flags being there but what I dont understand is why the hell are the Police involved?

I guess they were expecting trouble, Desimond. It would be interesting to find out who sanctioned/requested this. SAG, GC, HMG? The problem with demonising independence supporters and spewing out endless propaganda, is that you end up seeing ghosts where there aren’t any.

ahh the Labour plants ,this guy was never a socialist nor were his buddies that went on to reshape The Labour party to New Labour ,they were all Tory plants put in place by the evil witch of the South Thatcher in her attempt to destroy the values of social democracy,trade unions,and public ownership by the state and of course her rivals to power The Labour party the party of the people ,how dare the working class to think they could control power and deny the aristocracy their god given right to rule over the plebs.
Unfortunately it worked and now look at the mess the UK is in ,Vote Yes Scotland to break free from neo-liberalism and the inequality,lies and fruad it thrives on.

The figure of up to 700,000 residents of Scotland potentially leaving if there is a Yes vote is so meaningless that I question my own desire to bring it up.

The Herald and that crap rag that used to be a newspaper chose to run with it. It stretches the myth that polling can be extrapolated beyond breaking point. Of the sample polled a relatively high proportion, 1 in 6 say they will go. This is mostly bravado – a way of emphasising the minority of staunch No supporter’s own views.

To extend this sample to include for example 1 in 6 old aged pensioners, including well off pensioners, those with barely enough to get by, those in nursing homes is ludicrous.

Or 1 in 6 people living in poverty. Or 1 in 6 people with young children , or with children at school. Or 1 in 6 students – I can see them moving during their degree. Maybe transfer to a uni down south?

There will be an element of the upper class and some English people I am sure will consider leaving but it takes much more effort to up sticks than it does to fill in an online survey.

The 700,000 figure is wilful nonsense. If polls worked like this we are home free – 7 out of 9 at my work are voting yes.

To understand the head-bursting mental gymnastics that the polling companies are putting into their efforts to get the “right” results from their coverage of the referendum, try any of the recent articles on the Scot Goes Pop link on the home page here.
